Question for you rocket modelers and really anyone who routinely assembles rectangles of paper into tubes of model glory. As I dabble in building a rocket garden of my own, I'm finding that when I cut a glue tab out of the same 90-110 grain paper stock, glue it to the back of the part to be rolled and then roll the part around a former, I get a crease at the point where the tab was secured. Hard to get a good picture as an example so I hope you understand what I'm feeling.

I've tried to preshape the part and cut the tab smaller. On my next build, I think I'll just trim out the glue tabs on regular ol' 20lb stock. Doesn't seem that it would be strong enough but ... do you guys have any other secrets to keeping the cylinder from having a seem crease at the edge of the inner glue tab?
